Fifty

I've dreaded this birthday, but the only alternative to stopping this day from happening was not such a great option.  The anticipation resulted in reflection, joy,  and sadness.  But now that the deed is done, it's time to embrace all that is, and all that will be.  During the reflection phase, I gathered these old photos from birthdays past.  I think about current life and how every moment, even the insignificant ones are documented.  I have many had many birthday parties and celebrations, and yet very few photos, even from recent years, exist.  Future generations will most likely never have this experience.
